believeth

Accepts as true

Believeth is an archaic third-person singular form of believe, found in Early Modern English texts, particularly the King James Bible: He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

The -eth ending was standard in that era but survives now only in religious quotation or deliberate archaism.
